MUSIC:
East Meets West: Habib Khan Concert
Accompanied by percussionist Sivamani and other musicians, sitarist Habib Khan recently presented a concert that brought together the music of the East and the West.
A Siliconeer report.
(Above): (Top): San Francisco Bay Area-based sitarist Habib Khan presented a series of performances recently with both Western and Eastern musicians and a host of students from his own music school. (Bottom): Percussionist Sivamani was one of the major attractions at Habib Khan’s concert.
Sitarist Habib Khan recently presented two concerts which included performances by him and his students.
In the first half of the performance, his students were accompanied by sarangi player Ramesh Mishra. Khan himself took the role of the conductor of a Western classical music concert. The orchestra of Hindustani and Western performers presented a composition of his which had a strong message of the essential unity of humanity. The orchestral piece blended three raags — the Carnatic Raag Shivranjani, Raag Bhopali and Raag Bhairavi.
In the second segment Khan performed with percussionist Sivamani and Mishra on sarangi along with other seasoned performers.
Here, some of the compositions were comparable with the very best fusion music. The final compositions were an engaging mix of the West and the East including Gandhi’s favorite bhajan of peace, “Raghupati Raghav Rajaram.”Al Auger is a freelance writer.
